About the artist

Kate Punnett is a floral artist working with seasonal and local grown botanicals. Her practice began in the garden and expanded into a sustainable floral studio focused on using regional flowers.

Seeking a slower, more intentional process, she shifted toward preservation, pressing and composing botanicals over time. Her work now exists as a continuation of that practice, extending the life of seasonal materials into lasting, place based compositions.

Kate is the founder of The August Press - a popular stationary, print and flower press company that ships flower presses across North America.

Her personal work as a fine artist has pushed the limits of pressed floral work into a modern, place-based approach.

She works with individuals, community groups, and businesses to create artwork that reflects time and place. Continuing to draw inspiration from the natural rhythm of the seasons, she creates custom one of a kind works rooted in locality and time.
